Storm damage roof report in Burpham: what you get
Most policies don’t cover wear and tear. That makes the difference between storm damage and old wear important. Our report records both: fresh breaks and recently moved slates or tiles, and older problems like corroded nails or worn mortar. We describe what we see, whichever way it points. How the policy applies is for your insurer to decide. Common reasons to book are broken or displaced guttering and holes or cracks caused by debris, on chimney stacks, gutters and fascias and ridges and hips.
Around Burpham, chimneys on older homes are a common source of leaks, through worn flaunching, failed pointing or lifted flashings. Damp on a chimney breast is not always rain from above, which is why it is worth tracing properly. The stack, its flashings and the loft space beside it are all worth checking.
If any part of the roof couldn’t be seen safely, we say so in the report. That way, it is clear what was covered and what wasn’t.

Different roofs, different checks
Lead flashings
Wind can peel back flashings at abutments and stacks. Loose or damaged flashings are photographed and noted.
Ridge and hip tiles
A lifted ridge tile can let water into the roof. Each one is recorded with photos.
Burpham roofs and the weather
Older houses across Surrey often have handmade clay tiles, and many have tile-hanging. Horsham stone slab roofs survive on some old buildings in Surrey. Each of these roof types has its own typical places for water to get in. The wider area around Burpham has a long history of building, with Clandon Park about 1.7 miles east. On older houses around here, roofs often carry the marks of earlier repairs, from replaced slates to new lead, and a listed home or one in a conservation area may need consent for changes of material.
If you look after a building such as George Abbot School, tracing a leak on a big roof starts with where the water appears and works back. Trees in and around Riverside Park shed leaves that can end up in nearby gutters, and an overflowing gutter soon means a wet wall. The streets around a church such as Church of the Holy Spirit are often among the oldest in a place, and if your house is among the older ones nearby, old mortar, worn lead and slipped slates are the usual suspects when water gets in.

Common questions in Burpham
How do I find out if my home in Burpham is listed?
Start with Historic England’s list for listing and your council for conservation areas. Either can affect what roof work is allowed, so it is worth checking before planning any.
Do you carry out roof surveys in Burpham?
Yes. We work right across London and South East England, and Burpham is part of that. Just phone 07833 053749 or send us an email and let us know about the property, and we’ll talk through which survey suits.
Do you look in the loft space?
If it is needed and safe to reach, yes. Inside, we look for damp, staining, gaps and sagging, as far as the space allows.
Will you walk on the roof?
Not always. Safety comes first, and fragile or steep roofs can’t always be walked on. Safe viewpoints, the loft and a drone where applicable let us see the rest, and the report records anything we couldn’t see.
How should I record storm damage myself?
Only from ground level or from windows. Do not use a ladder or go onto the roof. With binoculars, you can see a lot from the ground, and we’ll record the rest.
Do you test for asbestos?
No. We do not sample or test for asbestos. The report may flag materials that could contain asbestos on buildings built or refurbished before 2000, with a recommendation to have a specialist asbestos surveyor check before it’s disturbed.
Can you inspect my roof with a drone?
Where it helps and it is safe, yes. Whether we can fly on the day depends on the weather and the airspace rules, including flight restriction zones near airports. We hold a CAA Flyer ID and Operator ID.
How the survey works
Every visit follows the same pattern: we listen to what’s been worrying you, inspect the roof from every safe vantage point, take photographs as we go and record our findings for the written report. It normally takes roughly 1–2 hours at a typical home, though large, tall or awkward roofs take more time. In a smaller place like Burpham, parking is seldom the issue; lanes, gates and long drives are worth mentioning. Low roofs on bungalows can often be seen well from ground level, and the loft shows the rest, while taller roofs may need other vantage points or the drone where applicable.
- First we go through when the storm hit and what you’ve noticed.
- The roof is inspected from safe positions.
- Each area of damage is photographed and described.
- The report notes whether the damage fits a storm, older wear or both.
- We send you the report by email for your insurer.
Getting ready for the survey
- Have keys ready for side gates, garages or roof access doors
- Mention any parking restrictions on your street
- Have any paperwork from past roof work to hand
Book a survey

What affects the cost of storm damage roof reports
Survey packages start from £150, including VAT. What you pay for your roof depends on:
- The use of thermal imaging or a drone

- How complicated the roof is, with its valleys, chimneys and parapets
- Extensions, dormers and garages with roofs of their own
All our prices include VAT. Prices start from £150, including VAT. We confirm the price for your roof before booking.
Getting in touch
Here’s what helps us most when you contact us:
- Any deadline, such as an exchange date
- What kind of property and roof it is
- Access details, like a loft hatch or a shared roof
- Any stains, drips or damp patches you’ve seen indoors
Storm damage roof report starts from £150, including VAT. The exact figure depends on the roof and the package, so ring 07833 053749 or use the contact form with the details.
Why get it checked now?
A few slipped slates can soon lead to wet timbers. Getting it recorded and repaired sooner is typically better. Around Burpham, a leak in an older house can soak into timbers and plaster, which is far harder to put right than the roof fault itself.
Our price is from £150, including VAT. What you pay depends on the size and height of the roof, how it can be seen safely and which survey you book.
Why book with us
- Every finding written up with photos
- Prices that include VAT
- More than 5,000 surveys completed
- Independent findings on the roof’s condition

DIY checks: what’s safe
Fresh stains on ceilings or walls after rain are worth noting. Take a photo and write down when you saw it, which helps when we look at the roof.
A DIY look is useful, but it isn’t a survey. You won’t see flashings, valleys or the backs of chimneys properly from ground level.
